But considering the added weight crossed with the relatively small 38% difference between gears, it makes more since to stand and grunt my way up the slight hills I cover. My secret wish though is for a kickback hub with a comfortable high gear and a really low (like granny low) relief gear. I would like to be able to decide to take my simple commuter on a mild MTB trail after work if the the thought crosses my mind. Something with a 250+% gear ratio with no cables, no shifter... Solve that and I think you&#39;d see a lot of customers.Ritchiehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/reefflop/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-35532919673883205012012-02-13T15:42:17.115-05:002012-02-13T15:42:17.115-05:00That is the first folder that I could see myself o...That is the first folder that I could see myself owning. I&#39;ve seen precious few with full-size wheels, and of those this is the first I&#39;ve seen that is not overly complicated to break down. Add an internal gear hub or even a kick-back hub and you&#39;ve got something versatile that&#39;s small enough to carry into the subway or office and perfectly sized for a car trunk or boat. Aluminum or Ti could help lighten the load.Ritchiehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/reefflop/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-57367491224274521452012-02-09T05:57:44.660-05:002012-02-09T05:57:44.660-05:00Yep that folding design is bloody clever!

You can run a U-lock through both wheels without needing a cable or second lock. plus, tall riders have a harder time finding a well-fitting folder and S&amp;S couplers are way too complicated to do day-to-day.SteveFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03361203392924949340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-5756357493637108492012-02-07T14:32:57.661-05:002012-02-07T14:32:57.661-05:00The folding bike is great, hell of a lot better th...The folding bike is great, hell of a lot better than a Brompton... which I bought, rode and promptly sold.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-8541854225467821532012-02-07T13:32:22.451-05:002012-02-07T13:32:22.451-05:00Could you get and then post some detail photos of ...Could you get and then post some detail photos of the folding bike?
